Abia: PDP Reinstates Suspended Chairman

Chief Johnson Onuigbo, Abia state’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman, who was suspended on Nov. 27 due to in-accountability has been reinstated.

This was made known by Chief Matthew Ibe, the Abia North Zonal Vice Chairman of the party in Umuahia today

He said the issue which led to the suspension has been resolved amicably.

The SWC had accused Onuigbo of in-accountability and illegal acquisition of wealth at the detriment of the party.

The committee also accused him of ruling the party like a private franchise’, characterized by usurpation of offices, impunity and imposition.

Ibe, who was one of the signatories of the communiqué, said that the matter had been resolved.

According to him, the little issue has been resolved, hence the meeting of the SWC.

“We hereby withdraw the communique,” Ibe, who was a former member of the Abia House of Assembly, said.

He thanked Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu for his quick intervention adding that peace had returned to the party.

“It is my pleasure to inform you that Abia PDP has resolved its differences amicably.

“PDP is one family and a peace-loving party, where everybody wants to belong. We are intact and there is no division in the party,” he said.
